Service Learning Experience

Service requirements consist of one session of four hours at the Houston Children's Museum.  The museum is open daily, including weekends.  This allows volunteers to plan service hours easily into their schedule. 


Children's Museum of Houston

Project Description
The Children's Museum of Houston's commitment to youth extends well beyond its targeted audience of children, aged six months to twelve years. Since the Museum's inception in 1981 at its Allen Parkway location, the Junior Volunteer Program has benefited teenagers throughout Houston by offering them volunteer opportunities at the Children's Museum. From a handful of teens in its first years, to a total of nearly 200 in recent years, the museum continually strives to involve Houston youth in its programming.

The Children's Museum views itself as an educational center for all children. It believes that
the lifelong love of learning that it hopes to kindle in each child needs to be continuously nurtured, especially during adolescence.

The Children's Museum believes that its Junior Volunteer Program offers just the right environment for teens to continue learning while simultaneously developing skills that will aid them throughout their lives. And it provides teens the opportunity to work with young children who tend to view them in awe.

Schedule your service learning at the museum.


Other Opportunities

Many youth focused special event opportunities are offered to the volunteers as they become available.  Among those offered in years past are the Dia de la Familia, The Hermann Park Kid’s Fun Run, The Weekend of the Small Child at the Children’s Museum, and the Children’s Festival.
